Chapter 822: You're a Wicked Man Too

The eldest princess Yang Qinyan arrived at her residence, and before entering the door, she glanced back at the riding schools guarding the door, and there was some sadness in her eyes. Qiu Yu, the professor of the Martial Arts Academy, followed her inch by inch, and the white eyes that seemed to know everything looked at her, and seemed to have been seeing her heart.

Yang Qinyan felt that she was a little afraid of this woman named Qiu Yu, at least she looked like a woman.

It seems that her eyes really have magical power, as long as she looks at herself, Yang Qinyan feels uncomfortable, as if the darkest corner of her heart has also been taken out and exposed to the sun. This feeling arose halfway from Chang'an's escape, so she always resisted Keqiu Yu having too close contact.

She was afraid that she would really be seen through.

All the strength of the disguise is not as easy to remember as a tear in me in the middle of the night. For a princess who has never left Chang'an City, or even rarely leaves the palace, living in a group of strangers every day is a terrifying thing in itself. The difference between men and women is that men can easily do what happens, but women can't, and it can be said that it is difficult.

"Mr. doesn't have to follow me, it should be safe here, there are people from the Xiao Riding School inside and out, is it possible that Chi Haonian still has the courage to assassinate?"

She paused and said.

Qiu Yu nodded: "I'm in the courtyard, if Your Highness has anything, just call me directly." ”

Yang Qinyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and after walking into the door quickly, his heart was a little more steady. After leaving the palace, she found that she only felt a sense of security when she was alone in a room. This feeling became even clearer and more intense after she got Luo Weiran's handwritten letter.

Before Luo Weiran left, he dragged Fang Xie to bring her a letter, without mentioning anything sensitive, just telling the princess that his plan had failed, Fang Xie did not kill him, and he was going back to Chang'an City to protect the queen. There is also to reassure her, Fang Xie will never do anything rude to her.

This letter was like the last straw taken out of Yang Qinyan's hand, she felt that she was floating on an endless sea, no matter which direction she looked, there was only water, and the waves hit her one after another, slapping on her face, and her eyes hurt and she couldn't open them.

She felt blind and could no longer see the world clearly.

In fact, Fang Jie's prediction was good, if she hadn't learned from the little emperor that there were people like Luo Weiran outside the palace, she would never have easily escaped from Chang'an City. She couldn't trust anyone, including Fang Jie. Relatively speaking, she is familiar with Luo Weiran, and when she was a child, Luo Weiran would always take care of her personally when she went out to play. Until now, Yang Qinyan still remembers that there are many times when she loves her, she sits on Luo Weiran's shoulders to pick pomegranate flowers in the imperial garden, and climbs the rockery that is not very high.

She still remembers the genuine concern in Luo Weiran's eyes when she climbed the rockery.

Luo Weiran's matter failed, and it seemed that all hopes were dashed.

Yang Qinyan closed the door tightly, leaning against the door as if he was afraid of something breaking in.

This house was very unfamiliar, and she had lived in many, many strange houses since she went south.

I don't know how long it was, but she let out a long sigh and walked over to the bed and sat down. Everything on the bed was new and clean, with a faint smell of new cotton, which smelled good.

She lay on the bed, but she didn't dare to close her eyes.

When you close your eyes, you will remember the day in the Changchun Garden, the little emperor smiled pitifully, pathetic and respectable, with such a strong pride in self-deprecation. The picture of him falling with blood in his body has not been blurred until now.

The Yang family seems to be moving away from the pinnacle of power step by step. She knew that Fang Xie respected herself, but she also knew that maybe Fang Xie had never thought of taking back the country that belonged to the Yang family for her.

"Your Highness...... Would you like to take a hot bath? ”

The voice of the maid came from outside the door, and Yang Qinyan snorted, it seemed that only taking a bath could make her feel a little more relaxed.

When the door opened, she saw that there were many more guards outside, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”

"Nothing."

The Xiao Cavalry School who led the team bowed his head and replied: "Your Highness don't worry, it was the lord who ordered the house of Chi Haonian, the governor of Yongbei Province, to raid the house, and in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, the number of guards was increased. Now the army is maintaining law and order in the city, arresting the rebels, and it is expected that it will calm down by night. ”

Yang Qinyan was no longer surprised, his face was expressionless, and a voice in his heart sneered and said, Look...... He took out another one.

However, that joy didn't seem to have anything to do with her.

……

……

The notice soon edged the streets and alleys of Crescent City, the former governor of Yongbei Province, Chi Haonian, plotted against him, repeatedly obstructed in the rear during the southern expedition of Zhenguo Gong, despised the imperial court, and colluded with rebellion, Zhenguo Gong dismissed him from the position of governor of the second rank of the Great Sui in accordance with the laws of the Great Sui, stripped him of his title, and immediately arrested and tried.

This news spread faster than the autumn wind, and it didn't take half a day to know it all over the city.

But the people were only amazed for a moment and then calmed down, and even the most ordinary people understood that the Black Flag Army was not at all unexpected. Now that Fang Xie is back, what he must do is to firmly control the entire southwest in his own hands, and it is impossible to continue to tolerate the control of the original governor. Even if Chi Haonian was not wrong, Fang Xie would put some mistakes on him. Besides, how can someone like Chi Haonian find fault in him?

The Xiao Riding School sealed the Governor's Mansion in the afternoon, and all the people in the Governor's Mansion were not allowed to go out, and all the middle-aged men in the Mansion were taken down and imprisoned in the Xinyue Mansion Prison, leaving only a group of old and weak women and children. Before dark, the people of the Xiao Riding School confiscated all the weapons in the house, and then sealed Chi Haonian's study and treasury.

A group of women were crying in the dark, but there was nothing they could do.

In the evening, the chief steward of Chi Haonian's mansion was carried back, and he couldn't find a good place on his body, and it was said that he had recruited everything he knew, including Chi Haonian's discussion with Du Jianzhou, the governor of Nanhui Province, about poisoning when Fang Xie returned to the north. It also includes Chi Haonian and Luo Qiu's discussion about the matter of borrowing a knife to kill people after Fang Xie went south, and one thing has declined.

The wounded chief steward was sent back in this way, but he was beaten again by the angry lady and several concubines, and died before he could hold the lamp.

That night, almost no one in the Doge's Palace slept. When the genius was bright, a team of freshly dressed and angry horses arrived at the door, holding the warrant of Zhenguo Gong in his hand and reading it out: Chi Haonian, the governor of Yongbei Province, tried to rebel with foreign countries, and committed eighteen crimes that should be put to death, and was removed from his official position according to the laws of the Great Sui, stripped of his title, and beheaded on the same day. Nian was unaware of his family, so he was spared the death penalty, and everyone immediately left Crescent City and sent them to southern Xinjiang as slaves.

A feudal official, just like this, fell to the curtain of history that belonged to him.

……

……

Dugu Wenxiu counted all the items from the Governor's Yamen, the Treasury, and the Governor's Mansion of Crescent City, and wrote a note and handed it to Fang Jie. Fang Xie took it and looked at it, he couldn't help but shake his head, there were too many things on it, so much that it could make people quite surprised at first and a little bored when they looked at it later.

"Seal the things and bring them back to the Suzaku Mountain camp."

Fang Xie was silent for a while and then said, "Select the more delicate things and give them two to each of the generals in the army, so you don't need to register them." ”

Dugu Wenxiu nodded: "Obey." ”

Fang Xie leaned back in his chair and looked at the dense handwriting written on the paper, and said with some emotion: "Copy a governor's house, if these things are converted into silver, they are enough to feed the people of the entire Crescent City for a year, and at least 20,000 people can be armed and the best equipment can be purchased." It's a pity that when the silver entered Chi Haonian's treasury, he didn't plan to dig it out again, he knew how to collect the silver, but he didn't know how to spend the silver...... This is a common problem. ”

Dugu Wenxiu smiled and said: "There are so many copies in one governor's house, and the twenty-four governors of the Great Sui, if the family property is added up, I am afraid that there will be more silver than the treasury of the Great Sui." However, most of them should have been looted after the war, and when the Great Sui was still peaceful, even a governor did not dare to be so happy. ”

Fang Xie nodded, nothing more.

Dugu Wenxiu was silent for a while and then asked, "Lord, now that the situation in Yongbei Province has been controlled, those people don't dare to resist. After winning Chi Haonian, these people will also be worried for a while...... Now that the affairs of Yongbei Road are basically over, the same is true of Nanhui Road? ”

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head: "I killed Chi Haonian, where does Du Jianzhou still have the courage to open the door to welcome me in?" When I first entered Yongbei Road, I asked Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong to take 10,000 horses each and take another road to Nanhui Road. 20,000 people is not enough to take down the Daozhi City, but it is enough to make other people who are ready to move honestly. ”

Fang Xie got up and looked at the sky outside: "Choose some capable people to stay in Crescent City, you can look for them." I will let Chen Xiaoru choose the elite Xiao Cavalry School to stay, and then leave the first army of infantry. Let me tell you a story...... Someone once put a frog in boiling water, and the frog would immediately scald and jumped out. He changed his method and put the frog in cold water, and then lit a fire underneath the water to heat it up a little bit, and the frog realized that it was too late......"

Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Fang Xie meant: "My subordinates understand...... These people seem to be extraordinarily obedient now, because they are afraid of death. After the army is mobilized, these people will jump out and make a fortune. You can't deal with all of them like you would blow a frog up in boiling water. You have to take it slowly, kill one every once in a while, kill one every once in a while, and those who are not killed will think, oh fortunately, it's not me, and slowly get rid of all the hidden dangers. ”

"Now these people in Yongbei Dao, on the surface, seem to be really afraid of the lord to the bone, and they are afraid of killing a Chi Haonian for a few days at most, because they are not involved, they will only get lucky and gloat. It's best to let them slowly live in luck and schadenfreude. By the time they realized it, the water was already boiling......"

Dugu Wenxiu pondered for a while and said: "My subordinates think that I can give some of them a little sweetness and vacate some official positions for them to do, this is the pot of cold water." And then you can let them kill people, make them feel that they are trusted and can live forever. Let them fight each other and guide them slowly. This matter can't be too rushed, and the subordinates think that it will take at least a year. ”

Fang Xie smiled and patted Dugu Wenxiu's shoulder: "You are also a wicked person." ”
